Here's my lovely science edutainment bot Sun! I'm not. going to be focusing on this au until after Halloween at least, but I am in love with it

you know the drill more details under the cut!

The Pizzaplex is now a Kids Science Centre! Chock full of fun, interactive, learn-through-play exhibits designed to get kids interested in science! With their main sponsor being Fazco, they have a pretty big emphasis on robotics and computers, though they have a wide range of exhibits to appeal to interests of all kinds of interests

Each main exhibit has its own animatronic mascot, with Freddy being the main mascot of the whole centre. I haven't decided on specifics for the glamrocks just yet-

As for the boys, Moon runs shows in the planetarium while Sun does science experiment demonstrations like elephant tooth paste. Since they're mostly for shows and demonstrations, the boys don't interact with guests nearly as much as the glamrocks do.

Either they both used to run the planetarium (possibly in one body? I haven't decided) until the higher ups decided to replace the humans running the experiment shows with an animatronic, OR it was always like this I'm still deciding because it WILL change how I characterize them

Anyways I have the most info about Sun because he was just going to be an oc before this au was revealed to me in a vision so-

He has a bit of a stutter problem after an ill-advised tesla coil demonstration fried his circuits just a touch. It's not bad enough to be fixed but he is self conscious about it.

He makes his demonstrations into performances! Telling little stories about how he used to work at a zoo and really DID need to make elephant toothpaste while mixing everything together to draw out the big fun expansion of foam, before going into an age appropriate explanation of the chemistry involved. If asked to explain some science thing that isn't part of his scripts, he can struggle with keeping it child-friendly, going into too far much detail. He's just full of information!

the 'glass' part of his glasses are actually screens! Allowing his eyes to move around and emote. the little dots in the corners are the cameras he sees out of.

He's mildly less distressed by mess than his canon counterpart. As long as its part of the show (and doesn't get on HIM), messes are part of the fun! Extremely sensitive to his things being moved, however. It stems from his safety protocol, some of the chemicals he works with are legitimately dangerous, like liquid nitrogen, and so it could be bad news if somethings out of its place!

What if Macaque was especially against Mk sacrificing himself because he knows what dying feels like and he didn't want MK to feel that.

See, Wukong and MK's dynamic is one thing.

But Macaque and MK's? THAT'S the tea.

Travelling squads over the years.

As Liko, Roy, and Dot make their Terastal Debut, they are truly growing into a great squad of travelling friends of their own now, making their big debuts as Trainers on their own two feet.

Welcome to the club, you three, and do your best!

That's right....you never would have guessed it...but I was actually a Lego Monkie Kid fan all along...

Hiii just discovered your blog (because of TCF/LCF) and just had to ask - where is your profile pic from? And do you have any other recs like ‘The Malicious Member is Back’ because I started reading it after seeing it in your posts and am loving it so far :D

Hallooo! My profile picture is Do Seojoon from [I Became the Youngest Member of Top Idol]/[My Comeback as the Youngest Member]! He is the older brother of the MC, Do SeohanXD

If you're interested with this one, get ready to face how strikingly different the novel and manhwa is, but overall it's all good!

Other recommendations you might want to give a try to:

In This Life, The Greatest Star In The Universe

I'm a Genius Idol But My Passive is a Sunfish

Debut or Die

The Trashy PD has to Survive as an Idol

You might already know Debut or Die since it is the biggest in fandom too, plot-wise all of these have more progression while not very heavy to follow. With [I'm a Genius Idol but My Passive is a Sunfish] and [I Became the Youngest Member of Top Idol] being the lighter ones. I love all of them. Very much. If you're looking for a character with typical krs!Cale or Cale!krs morally grey tendency, then Seo Hoyun from [The Trashy PD has to Survive as an Idol] will be a good start to familiarize yourself. (personal feeling but this one actually got the best of me from how similarly coded he is, even the 'blackmailing'/'scamming' and 'taking advantage of someone but actually cares for them along the way' is strikingly more pronounced:D)

Surprisingly, [Debut or Die], [The Malicious Member is Back], [I Became The Youngest Member of Top Idol] are the three where the group is build up through Idol competition. While the others are making a comeback after trouble or more agency-focus debut-trainee if you did not want to go through another musings for who would likely debut in the end. Which is, fun and engaging either way!

[Debut or Die]'s Park Moondae is literally Kim Rok Soo in some unique ways.... But, hmm, maybe more of a reliable narrator in comparison? As reliable as it can be with his personality.

If you want different characterization, as in cute and adorable MC instead of the genius and cynical characters, [I Became the Youngest Member of Top Idol]'s Do Seohan and [I'm a Genius Idol but My Passive is a Sunfish]'s Han Baekya are remarkably some refreshing change! Where as [In This Life, The Greatest Star In The Universe]'s MC Sun Woo-Joo is more heartwarming. I think these three are actually the most mentally sounds and healthy out of others, which is sparsely seen these days.

Each of these recommendations is refreshing and is impactful in their approaches. And I personally eager to tell you that all of them are worth reading for!

[Debut or Die], [I Became the Youngest Member of Top Idol], and [In This Life, The Greatest Star in the Universe] already got manhwa adaptation, so if you need more visuals feel free to give it a long shot to go!

It's most likely that I'll missed many points considering it's been a while since I catch up, I strongly advised to take my words with a grain of salt and take a look yourself for a better judgement<3

p.s. If you want to have the Coughing Up Blood shenanigans, [The Trashy PD has to Survive as an Idol] and [I'm a Genius Idol but My Passive is a Sunfish] will give you exactly that! I'm not sure about the latter since I haven't read much but the probability is high! >///< if you want a character who's constantly in the danger of death then [Debut or Die] took it seriously with its premise lmaooo

Look I'm sorry but I'm not gonna sit here and say it wasn't at least a little racially motivated.

The Sun Blessed Prince: Character Art!

With WorldCon coming up, I wanted to do some soft promotion for The Sun Blessed Prince. There's no official cover art yet, and we're a bit too early to start any official marketing runs, but it seemed like a good opportunity to just quietly spread the word while I'm attending the convention.

I had the idea of making bookmarks showcasing some of the characters in the book. Two, in particular, made the final cut: Elician and Cat. These two are the heart and soul of The Sun Blessed Prince for a number of reasons. But that's a topic for a future blog post!

This post in particular is about the process of getting character art done.

First, I'll say it from the start, I was extremely fortunate to know a fantastic artist. @zairaalbereo, whose portfolio and contact information can be found on her tumblr, and I had collaborated on some fan projects prior to me entering the book publishing field. I wrote and she drew, and I fell in love with her art then. I asked her if I could commission her for the bookmarks, and she did not disappoint.

The process of designing a character is never easy. When writing my book, I always felt an urge to keep things as vague as possible so that readers could fill in the blanks with who they felt fit the bill. Some key details, of course, are always included. But I'm a firm believer that if a reader feels a character should look a certain way: then the character is whoever the reader wants to believe they are.

I gave Zaira some basic details, then later a whole lot more details. She's a privileged beta reader who gave me some amazing feedback once the book hit the editing phase. She asked me for some actors or face casts that I could think of, and then added her own embellishments from there.

The end result was just fantastic. Elician's smile, Cat's uncertainty - both come across so well and make me feel like they're truly real. Seeing them made me feel as though they were real characters for the first time. Not just figments of my imagination. It was a startling realization, and I'm so grateful to her and her very talented hand.

The final form of the bookmarks, with beautiful colored frames and book appropriate symbolism will be posted at a later date. But for now, I wanted to share this gorgeous art with the world. I cannot thank Zaira enough. She brought my characters to life in a way I could never have done on my own. And because of her, I get to share them with all of you.

If you're curious about my book, or want to know more, visit my website for more information! And, if you're headed to WorldCon this August, I'll be happy to give you a free bookmark. Trust me - you'll want to see the final copy in print.

If you can't make it to WorldCon, fear not. Any leftover bookmarks will be used as special gifts or promotional material in the future!
